英文摘要 | The relationship between desert evolution and change in albedo has been investigated quasi-analytically using a zonal mean two-dimensional energy balance model which considers the radiation transmission process due to thermodynamics and boundary layer movement caused by kinetics. a climate state including temperature, zonal wind, meridional wind and vertical wind can be simulated according to the current zonal distribution of albedo. given desert distribution, characterized by the value and distribution of albedo, the response of climate on albedo has been studied to analyze the evolution of desert climate. one significant result is that the simple model can reproduce mean meridional circulation. another result indicates that climate corresponds to two equilibria. this happens when the junction temperature between vegetation and desert is higher than a certain critical value. as for the first equilibrium, the desert belt is predicted to move southward in the northern hemisphere with the increasing values of albedo, which corresponds to the current trend of climate change. for the second equilibrium, vegetation will expand northward with increasing values of albedo, which would indicate a narrowing of the desert belt. in order to determine if the two equilibria exist, new physical models are needed. |
